As you have read, you have to do the math.
I have a 5008 lb. dry weight, (6000+ lbs. loaded) 25 foot, Dutchmen Lite TT, I tow it with an F-150, E-boost. My towing capacity is 9500 lbs. However the TV’s max cargo is 1411 lbs.
So in real numbers my 750 lbs. of tongue weight, 500 lbs. for people and large dog leaves me less than 200 lbs. for camp and fishing gear. A trip to the CAT scales usually shows my TV is at or slightly over the max cargo capacity when I am on the road.
While I have never had any towing issues in over 10,000 miles of towing, anything over a 5000 lb. TT, I believe would require me buying a bigger truck.
Fortunately we love the TT and TV combo we have.
